The 2018 Benchwarmer Bash

Federation Championships - Johnny Bench Federation

The Benchwarmer Bash begins with Federation Championships.
The 59 leagues are divided into 8 Federations (see the breakdown on the
Leagues page). We've
got a mix of Federations with seven leagues and some with eight - the league champion
teams automatically advance to the Federation Championships, and we
add enough wild cards to make a field of eight teams for each
Federation.

Teams are seeded based on their federation
power index.
However, in matchups between wild cards and league champs, the league
champion will have home field advantage.
